Eggs for dinner - on a salad with chicory, lardons and mustard vinaigrette!

Going to the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena.

Second hand and salvage shopping at Rocky's and Urban Seed and Garden in University Heights, The Bungalow Store and Architectural Salvage on India, and Newport Avenue in OB. (Oh, and a burger at Hodad's while in OB!)

Venturing out downtown at lunchtime - lots of hits, some misses.

Planning our trip to Santa Barbara and Big Sur in October (we scaled back from Spain.)

I like the way you think Jack! I'd love to spend four grand on that patio furniture, but my paycheck has other plans unfortunately... mostly with the flagstone and gravel that is sitting in our yard right now waiting to be installed (I can't wait!) It's amazing how much that stuff costs though - even for kind of crappy stuff.

I will definitely consider those - I loved "Out the Door" at the Ferry Building - so I'm sure I'd like the Slanted Door. I'm on a total Vietnamese food kick right now too.
